Silhouette Patterns - Books & Videos

Formerly titled "My Very Best Dressed Me", Peggy's book has just been re-released with a new title and a fresh new look. If you don't already have a copy, get one now.

Peggy introduces the reader to the basic principles of dress. The issues addressed in "Dressed to Kill...Gently" are there to assist the woman who strives to look her best. In addition to teaching you how to decide your body type and what clothing choices you will want to make to compliment it, Peggy enters into a discussion on focal points -- where and when to use them. Other exciting topics covered are color, and correct proportion.

You will become aware of why some beautiful clothes may not be flattering on you. Peggy has listened to what you have asked for and addresses those areas of interest in this easy-to-follow picture-based book.

"Success From The Start"
by Peggy Sagers

Unfortunately, there are many "myths" in the sewing industry. This DVD clarifys misunderstood subjects through an explanation of rules and helps you
not only correct the ones stated on the DVD, but will help you resolve many more through logical thinking. Many of us learned sewing basics in high
school and have not had updated quality information since that time. This DVD propels you into the present. Topics such as grainline, darting and interfacing are discussed. Also mentioned are princess seams, armholes, sizing of patterns, and much more. Rules simplify, quicken, and improve our sewing experience.
